I don’t know what Arsenal is truly worth but Forbes valued the team around £2bn a couple months ago. Ek is a smart guy. Start with a lowball offer to test the waters just in case they really want/need to get out, now make a competitive offer to keep probing, knowing you’ll probably need to go higher in the end. If he really wants to buy the team, he’s probably thinking about how to make that happen at the best possible price within the next 6-12 months, not how to acquire the team immediately. I would expect the £2bn offer to be rejected again and then Ek to come back again and then we’ll really know what is going on when he starts offering some kind of premium to the Kroenkes as an incentive to sell.
As much as I want Kroenke to sell, it does mean we need another poor season for him to decide it’s not worth the aggravation and maybe for the value of the club to drop so Ek can buy it.
Lol he’ll have insurance policies coming out his ying yang for something like this and the NFL will back him also. Teams moving like this is part of the brand, they will protect it with everything they have.
